Hennessey Venom 700NM
As you can tell by looking at the picture above, we're not about to talk about the latest in gas-saving hybrid vehicles. This is the Hennessey Venom 700NM and it likes to melt your credit cards at the gas station to feed its appetite for going fast. How fast?

Pontiac Solstice Coupe
As if the Pontiac Sport Ute/El Camino wasn't enough, they've decided to add a coupe version of the Solstice to their growing stable of peformance cars. A sleek fastback-style roofline differentiates itself from its roadster brethren, but still delivers an open-air driving experience with a removable hard top.

Infiniti's curvy FX crossover is getting a whole new look for 2009.

Ariel Atom 500
The speed freaks at Ariel like to go fast, real fast. The current Ariel Atom is capable of taking you from 0-60 in under three seconds using a supercharged 300hp engine that's housed inside a vehicle that looks something like a go kart with the skeleton of an F1 car. Now they've gone ahead and dropped a 2.4 liter V8 in there that can hit 500hp at 10,000 rpm! You can bet with all those spoliers they had a hell of a time working on keeping the Atom 500 on the ground where it should be. As lightweight as it is, we wouldn't be surprised if you go airborne off the starting line. [$TBD]
Maserati GranTurismo S
The sexy Maserati GranTurismo is getting a much needed performance upgrade in the newly unveiled GranTurismo S. The S model shares the same 440hp 4.7 liter engine from another Italian beauty, the Alfa 8C Competizone, and is coupled with the MC-Shift gearbox. Other performance enhancements include dual cast iron and aluminum brake discs with aluminum 6 piston calipers built by Brembo, exclusively for Maserati. Additional image after the jump. [$TBD]

2009 Mercedes SL65 AMG
One thing we love about the Mercedes AMG series is the fact that they're practical enough for quick runs to the grocery store and is powerful enough to keep up with just about any Lambo or Ferrari thats up to the challenge. The 09 SL65 packs in a Twin-Turbo V12 with a maximum of 604 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque and you might think thats a little too much for a convertible, but drop the top it becomes the perfect way to hear the engine sing until its lungs explode. [$TBD]
Hummer H3T
The new Hummer H3T isn't an oversized blingmobile like its much larger brothers. GM actually put some practicality in this truck with a large truck bed big enough to haul your dirt bike and a few other of your toys. The H3T will be available with a 3.7L 5 cylinder and a 5.3L V8 top of the line Alpha model. More pics after the jump. [$TBD]
